To celebrate International Women’s Day 2018, we sat down with Karen Rogers, Sales Director and shareholder of Corbel to ask her a few simple questions about her career and working life.

What would you say is your greatest professional accomplishment to date?

“When I became Sales Director at Corbel, a business I have grown up in and learnt a lot from. Becoming Sales Director was a result of years of hard work”

What’s the best advice you have received in business that you wish to pass on?

“Simply.. Never stop building meaningful relationships”

What or who has been your greatest influence in business and why?

“I guess it has to be my Mother, which you might think is a strange answer. My mum taught me from any early age that I could be anyone I wanted to be as long as I kept on trying and worked hard, looked hurdles in the eye and kept going.”

What would you go back and tell your younger self if you could?

“You won’t remember the good things people say but you must forget the bad things”

Building, farming and garden material suppliers, Clarkes of Walsham, have chosen cloud-IT specialists Corbel to support and protect their IT for the next chapter of their 110-year history.

Established in Walsham-le-willows near Bury St Edmunds in 1908, the family-run business is now better protected and getting more from their IT, thanks to a new relationship with the Ipswich-based IT experts.

“Investment in IT is often overlooked but we rely on it so much as a modern business” says Richard Balls, Finance Director of Clarkes of Walsham. “Since choosing Corbel we’re feeling much better protected knowing our systems are secure and friendly support is just a phone call away.”

From their base near Bury St Edmunds, Clarkes of Walsham supply building, agricultural, fencing and other materials to local builders, farmers and DIYers. Their country goods department has especially grown in size and reputation, stocking an impressive range of country clothing and shooting accessories. Since 2015, they have also provided country apparel at their popular store on Jimmy’s Farm in Wherstead.

Operating over two sites, Clarkes of Walsham were previously housing and maintaining their own computer servers and infrastructure. With Corbel’s cloud-hosted IT, their software, data and systems are instead stored and protected off-site, allowing Clarkes’ staff to simply log in as needed. This has increased flexibility, reduced the need to update costly hardware and improved the business’s resistance to possible threats.

“We’re delighted to be helping such a highly regarded local business” states Karen Rogers, Sales Director of Corbel Solutions. “Like many companies, the advantages of cloud-hosting were very strong for Clarkes. They no longer need to worry about managing their own computer systems and always have us on hand to make sure they get exactly what they need from their IT.”

Ipswich-based IT specialists Corbel provide cloud-hosted IT, data back-up and full computer support to businesses large and small throughout East Anglia. In 2017, they opened their third workplace recovery suite, providing companies with instant access to alternative workspace should their premises be compromised by risks like theft, flooding or power loss.

For more information on Clarkes of Walsham visit www.clarkesofwalsham.co.uk or their premises at Walsham-le-willows near Bury St Edmunds and Jimmy’s Farm, Wherstead.
